Fix Therakiels Broken Drop Table

It has been left in a broken state since 'dev x' (thats a very bad dev x!) tampered with the drop table.
Currently, loot on rare chance, is:
Therakiels Sword (heavy weapons) - 1/? chance - No recorded drop in 9 months, used to be a 1/7 chance.
Therakiels Blade (blade weapons) - 1/>500 chance - Only 3 drops recorded in 9 months
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, HIGH PRIORITY as it is end-game content played by many people.
Drop chances used to be 1/7. Please correct this.
Posted here because even if a dev came here i doubt they bother with the bugs encyclopedia section. PS: Fix pets, they arent attacking, their entire AI is broken YET AGAIN.

Recently I've actually been playing my main instead of leveling alts, so it would be great to have something to actually try for.

1. Lairs and Zones need loot improvements, have been since On Alert came out almost a year ago now
2. Therakiel is my favorite lair!
3. If I may recommend: when a reward drops from a boss in this lair, it should drop for ALL players (like it does in Whiteout or Aftershock). We need to put the era of people fighting over a drop on a team in the grave once and for all.

As excited as I was to see the Blade is still on the loot table, what good is it if the drop chance is so microscopically low? It's like the Voodoo Shaman Belt all over again!
Come on, Cryptic! A drop rate really isn't hard to change. Have one of the devs spend a few minutes on giving us one less reason to complain.
Minutes? Loot table changes take seconds to implement. What takes time is doing the compile process typically.
More importantly it's good design to have costume unlocks as rare, but not too rare. A 10% or below chance for such a long mission is unacceptably extreme. Not fun.
Take a look at my lockbox suggestion in my signature to see what a researched and balanced approach looks like.
My recommendation for Therakiel is...
5-Player Normal difficulty:
80% for the wings
10% for the large sword
10% for the small sword(s)
(Drops for all players on a team when it drops)
5-Player Elite difficulty:
70% for the wings
15% for the large sword
15% for the small sword(s)
(Drops for all players on a team when it drops)
Optional, but if you really REALLY want the sword, you're going to have to farm for it.
Dark Speed is another good example. Either sell it in the Z-Store, or increase it's drop rate to 2%. And FFS please return it to dropping for all players on the team!
Need money to justify to the CFO executive? Sell some emote packs!
No. This is a bad idea, as I have explained before.
Look at PvP queues, or Sky Command, or even the Lemurian and Monster Island Crisis(es) to see why this is an ill-thought-out idea (also use try the forum search function please).

On topic: I've never done Therakiels lair but I'd like a halfway decent shot at that sword drop if I ever did find myself in there. Right now though I don't think I'd waste my time with it.
It's worth it just to see the last fight.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!

Wait... what?! The Gladiator set has been removed?! For real?
D-:
Are there any other sets with massively reduced drop rates?
More things that need a buff to the drop chance so they drop more often: Ripper's Helmet, Warlord's drops, Baron's Tophat, all Vibora drops, and all Gravitar's drops...
Things that could use a nerf to drop chance, or have their rarity color changed: Heavy Taiha, Heavy Machitul, Heavy Waraxe (they're hardly "rare", more like uncommon/green), also all GRAB stuff and resistance nightsticks are way too common.

I recently resumed doing NemCon for that set.
